With contrast and detail in the output, you won’t be disappointed with how it handles HDR and DV video.

In fact, for the first few movies you see on the A80K, you might find it hard to focus on the story as you enjoy the visual quality.
The new A80K still improved the quality of movies in the late 60’s and 70’s, which surprised us. We fell in love with photography because TV could render every detail clean, detailed and lifelike. quality. Additionally, image noise is barely noticeable and on-screen motion can be adjusted to a satisfactory level. The A80K draws very fine lines smoothly and handles complex or tight patterns with ease. As you can imagine, there are different viewing angles.
sound experience
The enhanced picture quality matches the latest A80K’s enhanced sound quality. Sony’s Acoustic Surface Audio+ is built into the A80K series of OLED TVs. To produce a full range of sound, five actuators are arranged, two on either side of the screen and three directly behind the screen. There are also two subwoofers for deeper bass.

Sony’s Acoustic Surface produces a complex soundtrack with room to expand as needed, making conversations richer and more contextual. Rather than being bloated or isolated from the dynamic range of the main speakers, the sprawling midrange also contributes a surprising level of bass to the convincingly extended subwoofer. Plus, it can handle all but the most intense, long-running cinematic bass thumps without becoming trapped or distorted.
smart function
The new Bravia A80K works with Google TV based on Android TV 10. His UI from Google is very friendly and easy to use, so I personally feel it’s a very good choice from the company. A80K’s OS is based on Google TV, so it comes preloaded with Chromecast and Google Assistant compatibility. Plus, the TV supports AirPlay 2, so you can cast media from your iPhone or iPad. Additionally, the TV is powerful enough to allow for higher refresh rate games, so you can plug in a game console.
What impresses me about the A80K is how smoothly the applications work. The whole process was so quick and responsive that I experienced no lag while switching between apps or turning the TV on and off.
